Carlos Sainz in Mexican Grand Prix

The driver of Toro Rosso debut at Hermanos Rodriguez Circuit

Carlos Sainz: "It's been a bit of a tricky first day here in Mexico, the track was very slippery. In the morning we struggled a bit with brake temperatures, which didn't allow me to push as much as I wanted in FP1. The good news is that it was better during this afternoon's FP2 and I was therefore able to learn the track, step by step. We have a big of margin of improvement in terms of the car balance, as I wasn't very comfortable today compared to the rest of the season. There's a bit of homework to do tonight and it's definitely going to be a challenging weekend but I'm looking forward to the rest of it."
